It might be interesting to better understand the management of athletics (including coaching personnel) at Notre Dame and Stanford - then compare it to how things are run at BC. There are very few sports programs at either such school that are not routinely highly competitive. That doesn't mean they don't have their blemishes from time to time - but overall they don't seem very tolerant of poor performance.Napolean Bonapartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400468172192375595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-55199011052573044202015-11-08T13:08:25.438-05:002015-11-08T13:08:25.438-05:00Has Leahy ever been interviewed re his priorities ...Has Leahy ever been interviewed re his priorities and aspirations for the Athletic Department? <br /><br />I think the problem is that the AD rarely feels the heat from anyone including Leahy. One of many things that needs to be changed. These guys make way too much money not to have expectations set and not to be carefully managed when those expectations aren't met. Good bosses don't micromanage but they definitely ride herd.

He doesn't care about W-L, CFP, AP rankings, etc., That's all mumbo-jumbo to this Jesuit. What he cares about is GSR and, if you don't know what that is and need evidence of this, head on over to the school website and hit the first item under BC News. That's what he wants out of the athletics department.Profitec700https://www.blogger.com/profile/06258392753683944768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57160093275246030452015-11-07T16:18:26.576-05:002015-11-07T16:18:26.576-05:00Big Jack. 3:15 comment right on the money.

BC should seek out a blue collar following. Like the free ticket idea to high school. You should be AD rather than Bates. <br /><br />Daz is sad. Notice how TV focuses on him mostly because he is so inappropriate most times. He really seems confused during the games. Compare his demeanor with most winning coaches and you'll have a good idea why he is a loser. <br /><br />I agree with other poster that Leahy really doesn't get it when it comes to sports. Tough days ahead for BC sports.

How do you propose to poach a top tier coach from all of them? Even if I want Daz gone (and honestly, I think it's a year early), I don't see how we upgrade the coach this year. The environmental factors are heavily against us.

Fr.Leahy would rather have us play Fordham and Holy Cross than Alabama and Texas A&M. Big-time football always seem to threaten control of the institution. The Jesuits have seen how it can happen.(Sorry Creighton) That's probably why there's no indoor practice facility at this point. I remember beating the likes of Alabama, Georgia,and Notre Dame. I was in Miami when Flutie threw his pass. And yes, it hurts not to be relevant any more. The whole football thing must seem more trouble than it's worth to Fr.Leahy.

If you ran a business would you keep poor workers around because they are nice people and they try hard. You have earned the right BJK, only old timers deserve to be heard? Not many people on this thread have traits of being successful it seems. I guess you are all happy with being average to below average. This forum is for discussion and praise and criticism. So just chill out old man BJK. You must be one of these people whose persona is derived from their Internet presence and status on a meaningless forum. It's the old timers that hold BC back.
